Saint Laurent

Yves Saint Laurent changed fashion permanently in 1966 by putting women in trouser suits and giving them the freedom of men’s tailoring. His left bank sensibility, his love of Marrakech, his Mondrian dresses, and his transparencies were all acts of liberation dressed as fashion. Today Saint Laurent under Anthony Vaccarello has reclaimed the house’s rock-and-roll edge — sleek, Parisian, and provocative in the best possible way. Saint Laurent fragrances carry this duality: refined enough for the gallery, dangerous enough for the after-party.
